let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time that we might be exactly like we were

             it was just like a movie

At the beginning, there’s an unintentional challenge and a set of unfortunate circumstances. A phone number scribbled on the bathroom stall wall. A failed class that needs to be taken during the summer break. Two people sharing one table in the library. A party. Drunken kissing. Text message conversations with a stranger. Somewhere in all that, Chris stops seeing Darren as “Lauren’s loud and obnoxious friend” and Darren stops seeing Chris “as that kid from the class Lauren TA’d”. With their paths crossing in more ways than they realize, it’s inevitable that they end up together. Or is it?

When music therapy major and college sophomore Darren’s parents make him get a part time job, he starts to volunteer at the LGBTQA suicide hotline center on campus. His first week in, he gets a call from high school senior Chris going through a rough time.
